a/n: Hey, I'm uhh.... not dead. I'm sort of on an e-break? Though I have stuff that I REALLY NEED TO DO and I will be doing that today/tomorrow and after that I am not sure if I'll be back-back or kind of disappear again. I feel kind of bad for flaking, but it's also been a really nice break from the internet.

I booted up Kingdom Hearts 2 like last Wednesday and have been playing it like a fiend ever since. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I'm also trying to teach myself how to draw KH characters, because I have a really hard time adapting anime-influenced characters into my own weird ass style of things. :\

Anyway, I also scanned in a ton of old doodles/sketches from school notes and assorted drawing notebooks and some of it is really old and ugly and some of it is kind of neat. And it's a lot of mixed fandoms and junk. Lotsa HA!, some SHWC and original things as well.

Comment with the name of a character, pairing, etc in one of my fandoms. I'll post you an "instant" mini-fanmix: a cover and 3-5 songs that remind me of that character/pairing/show/etc. I'll upload the songs and everything.

a/n: Hmmmm, not much else to say. Oh if you wanna color any of these be my guest. They're all nice and png w/o any background so that if you have photoshop (it MIGHT work with gimp and other programs like that) you can slip layers right under 'em. Sexy.

There's more that I really wanna do. The Erika/Giselle one, the Ternion trio and the one Ripp/Phi.

a/n: Ugh, I had a weird dream last night. About this princessy girl and this not nice rival type guy and the hero had died. Also it was the Rival's fault, but the Lady didn't know. And the Rival and the Lady had been captured and put in jail together for years and treated like shit. Also, they hated each other and Rival was totally violent and not very nice at all.

Then a new kid came to save them and Lady believed it was her Hero reincarnated. And Leader (the new good guy) saves them both and they managed to get a small boat off of the prison-island. Lady fawns over Leader who is oblivious and Rival does his own thing. They end up on a different island where they team up with that unnamed red-haired girl and Rival got hurt really bad (his whole back was like... burnt off, but apparently he could regenerate himself and Lady could heal) and I dunno, she was cradling Rival in her arms while she helped him recover and then they started falling in love or something. IT WAS GIRLY WHATEVER.

But I wanted to draw them. Also, I'm still totally in love with the dream and might polish it up plotwise and make it more... sense making? Oh and they're keeping their names ('cept i need one for the island girl), because it makes me laugh.

I can't draw Rival. :( He had curly black hair and was tanned and very... man-like? All of these attempts are either too old looking or too feminine looking. :\

a/n: Ah, I missed these guys. They are awesome and totally OTP and there storyline is still so very fuzzy, which I kind of like. But, plot aside, I know these two like the back of my hand.

Ellie is mute and is some sort of hybrid creature (human and something else... I never decided on WHAT). But this resulted in her having the ability to see people's deaths before they happened. When she comes into skin contact with someone for the first time, she can see exactly how they are going to die. She never really understood it until she was seven when her mentor/teacher/brother-type person died (Duncan) right in front of her in the exact same way she saw it happen. After that she kind of went insane and ended up becoming an assassin, feeling like it gave her some sense of control over her visions. She also ends up wearing this bigass cloak and mask and gloves so that none of her skin is ever exposed. She only touches people after she's killed them.

Tass comes from a village of fire mages. The society is slowly dying out, because their magic has a kick of karma to it. Whatever power they dole out comes back to hit the user at almost full power. Also, they HAVE to use the fire magic from time to time and in moderation, because otherwise it either a) is too powerful for them to stand the recoil b) builds up inside of them until one day it consumes them entirely. So uh, their lives suck. Tass' sister and father have already been consumed in their own flames (his sister in an effort to protect him, which is pretty terrible). Despite all that, Tass is a pretty happy and optimistic guy. He also dreams of a future where he can control the fire inside of him without fear and goes searching for that very answer.

Some stuff happens, Ellie saves his life on some instinct and then panics and leaves him all alone, he desperately tries to find her and thank her and eventually they wind up traveling together. She is silent and he's silly! She's a badass and he's not a very good fighter at all!

Also, she eventually does have to touch his skin and sees his death and then eventually is able to stop it, making her realize that her visions are not set in stone and that the future is never a sure thing. I don't know if Tass ever manages to overcome his fire problems though. :\

a/n: So uhh, sometimes I do actually draw stuff that isn't S,HWC art. And this is Nor! She is adorable and is part of this super epic storyline that I'm kind of doing a comic of, except that I'm LAZY and the process is LONG and I have a tendency to get distracted. But it's about three not-friends kind of thrust together and forced to save the world or something.

Nor's my very obvious favorite character despite the fact that Calvin is the one that continuously breaks my heart. I love her because she basically chose her own personality. I'm serious. I was like: "All right Nor, you are going to be the spunky heroine who punches assholes in the face and hides her feelings, okay?". And she was like: "Um...I don't think that's me... at all. Could I maybe be a pacifist who loves deeply and wears her emotions on her sleeve?" And so that's who she is. Kind of. I mean there's more to her, but those are some basic points of her personality.

Anyway, I love her and this drawing was just for fun. I wanted to try coloring the lineart and I gave Nor a haircut. She is so cute. :3

a/n: For me, one of the saddest things in Shenanigans is that Miles never really gets to spend time with his dad. When Jay dies, Miles hasn't even been born. In fact, Jay never finds out that he's going to have another son (he knows about the first, but is neglectful though he was actually just beginning to change that). And then Tai is just... not a very good substitute. So I drew a cutesy sketch of Miles and Jay, because I'm sad that they lost all that time. Oh and I also drew a ghost!Jay watching Miles try and fail to build towers and being unable to help and SAAAAAAD.

Haha, I've actually had this thing inked and flat-colored for awhile. I kept forgetting to shade it and then just be done with it though. But last night I was reading Strange's interview and she mentioned face grabbing and how she loved it and so I thought: "hell, i ought to just fix it up some." And so I did!

a/n: More art! These are just some things that I'm not interested in putting on Deviantart for one reason or another. The first because it's ridiculous and only interesting to me. The second because I feel silly for making such a badass picture of Lur for no real reason. Also, because Lur looks too much like Calvin and I don't want people to get confused.

a/n: Taking a short break from Strangetown art to show off my own awesome trio (now a quartet actually, though Jeanette is only romantically linked to Cal and just BFFs with the other two).

However these little babies are not really Sims inasmuch as they are characters from a comic that I've been working on. Also, I'm not sure this is how their story will end up within the comic. But it made for a great time in my sims game. These guys are on the brink of elderhood and have just recently popped out MOAR BABIES (there's THREE toddlers in game right now). So I haven't really been playing them much.

I'm not a rabid sims player. I'd rather be drawing or even writing, but it's a good stress reliever sometimes.

a/n: A desktop screenshot of all the pictures I'm working on at the moment. Some of them have been sitting around for far too long (the Favorite Whale as a Bear - ain't that confusing? - pic or the top right Ternion which has been hanging around unfinished since the summer).

There's Sokka carrying Toph, because you're not a true Tokka artist if you don't have at least one Sokka giving Toph a piggyback ride. Then a fairytale-esque Ternion trio, wherein Calvin is daring, Taran is pissed and Nor is in pain. Next, the shoe-eating scene in Ragamuffins that shall be HILARIOUS to do in time. After that the Ternion trio duking it out in a forest.

On the bottom is a redo of an old, old pic of me and Gil swinging high above everything. Then Pear hits on Negas, because Negas/Pear is as hot as Newt/Anna if not moreso. Next is Ratchet, looking kind of dumb with a bunch of scrolls. At the far right in the middle is a tragic HA! moment of a pained Helga and a pleading Arnold. And then the bottom right is Lenne shielding Ripp with ice, because she is a superhero after all.

Fandom/Universe: RagamuffinsCharacters: Brian, Alyssa, MiketaurNotes: The first one is just me and Brian escaping from danger. The second is based on the Ambushed scene that is yet to come. Also, all the art in this post is a couple months old and thus, not up to my current level of awesomeness.

Universe: TernionCharacters: Calvin, Jeanette, Mina, NorNotes: The first is Jean being a bit of a perv, but it’s okay because Calvin is too. Also, no - I’m still not sure if I’m going to give Jeanette a crush on Cal. The second is an old beachy-themed picture of the girls. Mina’s such a fake badass.

a/n: I had fun with the LJ-cuts in this one. Heehee. More scraps done in my lazy coloring style. As mentioned above, these are all at least half a year old doodles that never really went anywhere. I feel bad about just throwing out stuff without some kind of record of it’s existence, so here ya go.

a/n: Me and Favorite Whale's character designs for the post-ragaverse world. FW doesn't always have the nose and the claws. Our powers are weakened in our world, so instead of her turning into animals, she can only gather bits of them.
